When I wrote to Redding complaining of seating marks on the bullets, I wanted a flat punch, but they said they couldn't do that. Instead they could special polish a seating stem and that would solve the problem. Redding sent me a specially polished seating stem for both my 356W and my 40-82WCF . . A couple days later they arrived in the mail - no charges. I have to say I don't get any marks seating 180grWFN's cast from real LBT molds for my 356Win, so I have to say it worked. Truly, I still prefer the concept of grinding the original seating stem flush with the flat of the point. On my lubrisizer, I use the top punch for a 45 when lubing WFN's for 45 and smaller. Nothing touches the side of the bullet....This punch has a real short side on it and works for me. It acts like a flat punch on the smaller calibers. Just one way among many of getting away from the seating marks. Redding has always given me terrific service.
